Support St. Brendan High School
Giving to St. Brendan High School
Since opening its doors in 1975, St. Brendan High School has been a leader in secondary education for the Archdiocese of Miami. At St. Brendan we strive to provide nothing less than an exceptional Catholic education, through an ever-expanding curriculum, the most advanced educational resources, cutting edge technology, and faith-centered spiritual formation. The fiscal demands of providing an outstanding education continue to surge. At, St. Brendan we maintain one of the most affordable tuitions in South Florida.
While it is evident that our school prioritizes providing an a Catholic education to its students, regardless of their family's economic position, our strategic plan also emphasizes the enhancement of our academic, athletic and campus ministry programs as well as our campus buildings and facilities. The impact of charitable contributions made to St. Brendan High School can be seen in the successful implementation of our academies, new academic and athletic facilities, enhanced educational programs, and tuition assistance for our students who are in need of financial aid. As we continue to look beyond the daily finances and make bold plans for the future, we depend on the generosity and investment of all members of the Sabre family to help bring these plans to fruition. We ask for your ongoing support as we move into Phase III of the school's Master Plan-the renovation of the gymnasium and pool.
Why Give?
St. Brendan High School is planning and building toward an exciting future! We invite you to participate in this next stage in our school's history. Your investment will not only help offset the costs associated with Phase Ill of the Master Plan, it will also subsidize the ongoing enhancement of our academic, athletic and campus ministry programs.
Phase Ill of our Campus Master Plan will result in a completely renovated school gymnasium and pool. We ask that you make St. Brendan High School a philanthropic priority and partner with us as we endeavor to transform the school's gymnasium and pool into a state-of-the-art facility. This project will allow our athletes greater opportunities to succeed in their sport. Furthermore, the ongoing enhancement and development of our academic, athletic and campus ministry programs directly impact our students' intellectual, emotional, and spiritual growth. Your financial support of our school programs will ensure that each student has every opportunity to achieve personal success and make St. Brendan High School highly competitive among other high schools in South Florida.

Continue the Tradition
"As an alumna, I wanted my older son to attend St. Brendan High School. However, it was ultimately his choice since he was also accepted to an all-boys school. To say we are happy that he chose St. B is an understatement.
The education, support, spiritual guidance and opportunities (both educational and extracurricular) provided to him have been invaluable. He is in the ALPHA program which has challenged him to grow as an individual and independent thinker. We look forward to continuing on in the Sabre family with our younger son next year."
